I just completed my retirement package for the Navy, and I can submit it as early as February. I never thought I would leave after completing 20 years when I have the ability to serve for 25. The chaos in the W.H. is the number one factor for my decision. I'm not alone, as a Career Counselor there are several retirement packages sitting on my desk. 2019 will be the start of a mass exodus for senior personnel in the Navy and many other Branches of service. The New Secretary of the Defense has no military service or political service before joining this administration.COD does not count! Anyone here with 18 years or more of service?

Pretty sad that the Syria deal was a media show off and there is no actual plan of action. He sure is playing military people in a poor fashion.

Can you tell me the difference between border security and the wall?? Because the media sure as hell cannot. Questions; what is the number one method for drugs entering the country and people entering "illegally"?? Hint; its NOT through the southern border. Also, if you are going to build a wall, I would advise to NOT make it out of paper machete. ![]() Oh the irony; GOP screams about negligent government spending.......turns around and says "give me the wall! that can be cut with a butter knife..........and lets balloon the deficit to the largest it has been in over 10 years" P.S Not a fan of Chuck and Pelosi either so yeah. All of the congress assholes have gone home for the weekend as well, so yeah. What a shitshow......... |

Curious about this. Please elaborate. Quote:
Are you saying we need a bigger, stronger wall? If not, what would be a more viable solution to protect the southern border? |

It is through regular-ass cargo transport. Container ships, trucks and the likes... You know, the vessels that already go to the normal border ports? Sorry, but I ain't chancing getting 1000 kilos of dope across the border strapped to 13 year-olds.

I'd curious to see those numbers. According to the US Border Patrol statistics, drug seizures at the Southern Border account for a huge amount of national total. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/fi...%20profile.pdf |

1) Read the actual post you have. If you took the time to read, there is no where in the comparison it makes that statement. CBP stands for Custom Border and Protection. The Nationwide portion you refer to is STRICTLY for borders. Nothing to do with port of entries to include ships and air cargo. The stat is strictly for BORDERS (including coastal), hence they included places like Detroit, or coastal borders like Miami. 2) Bring up a stat which compares what is mentioned above; port of entries. Baltimore for instance is NOT on the list, and as it turns out, Baltimore is a port where ALOT of ships come through and which is a MAJOR distribution center for the East Coast, from Buffallo all the way down to Florida. Remember, Car companies ship Millions of cars each year which arrives in SHIP ports, for instance. There are 3 airports withing a 30 miles radius of where I live, and NONE of those cities are on CBPs list, so yeah. The list is lacking all sorts of information. FUn Fact; at full tilt, there is a flight either landing or departing one on of those airports mentioned above every 30 secs. You mean to tell me NO drugs that pass through those very terminals?? If you answer yes, Ignorance truly is bliss..... And let me ask you; what is the difference between Border Security and the wall?? Because as you know, EVERY SINGLE YEAR there is severel billion allocated to Border Security. It just so happens that it is an entirely different budgetary item than that of the wall, and trump decided he wasn't interested in signing off on such a budget measure. So if this was truely about border security, he would have signed off on it and dealt with wall negotiations later. But again, the gop had the House, the Senate AND the presidency. Any reason, after 2 years, they didn't pass a budget with the wall?? Or shit, even bother to put pen to paper to actually come up with a budget?? 2 FUCKING YEARS! and nothing. Every single one of us would be fired with 2 weeks if we had such power, and manage to not do a fucking thing. GOP owns this, fair and square. |

I'd venture to say that they only included to top sectors in terms of volume. Again, I'd like to see the numbers that show the majority of smuggled drugs and illegal immigrants coming to the US other than the southern border. Quote:
I don't doubt it, however I find it very hard to believe thousands of pounds of drugs are coming to the US through airport security...unless of course you have the data. Quote:
Do you have a fence around your property? Walls work in a very similar manner lol |

"Historical data also shows that the amounts of drugs smuggled in between the ports of entry, where a wall might make a difference, is on the decrease. The total number of marijuana seized in 2017, the last full year of data available, is almost a third of what it was in in 2012." While this is true, the amount of hard drugs smuggled in since 2012 has increased. It's safe to say the significant decrease in smuggled Marijuana over the past 5-6 years is mostly attributed to it being legalized in CA lol. This article is cherry-picking data to support it's argument. We all the know the motive to smuggle drugs is there. We all know millions of undocumented people with some confirmed to be affiliated with gangs and criminal activity are coming here. We all know there are miles of the border that have no barrier. ...so WHY NOT build a wall? https://www.usatoday.com/border-wall...ve-border-map/ |

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...-first-n955861 Thousands of terrorists are probably not pouring in through the southern border, but where is the line drawn? 6? 10? 100? Let's remember that it usually only takes one or a few terrorists to carry out an attack. |

Walls work. We have 20-35 million illegal aliens in this country, most of which are Mexican, that cost us $75,000 a year each. They drive wages down. They commit tax and identy fraud. They drive emergency care costs up. They drive auto insurance premiums up. If you are not for stopping illegal immigration, then why do we even have an immigration, visa and passport system? Also, if you care so much about this joke of a shutdown, why are you not blaming thr Democrats for refusing to negotiate? $5 billion is a drop in the bucket of our annual budget and deficit. These are the same people that spent trillions on Bullshit "stimulus packages", junk car buy backs, and an even more broken and ineffective Healthcare system. These are the same people that tore out every freaking public bathroom in California costing millions to make them "Gender Neutral" to not offend some mentally ill sexually confused cry babies. Better start issuing exhausylt tickets to pay for that shit. |

TSA ain't stopping terrorists from getting on planes or coming to America. Foriegn security services overseas are. Domestic Airport security is stopping domestic travellers. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

What's even easier than that is going around a nonexistent wall lol How many people have crossed the border illegally and haven't been caught? Millions. Even if an extremely small percentage of all the illegal immigrants that crossed the southern border over the past 10 years were criminals/terrorists/etc. that would be a very alarming number. I don't mind immigration, hell my mother is an immigrant and came here legally. There has to be some vetting process in place so we know who's coming in. Does anyone disagree with that? |
